What To Talk About Today?

Friday, April 17, 2009

Sometimes I think it is so hard to come up with a new post for this wonderful blog.

I mean I completely understand that you're all waiting with anticipation to find out exactly what's going on in my little corner of the world...okay, back to reality...

Olivia started her first day at McDonald's YESTERDAY!!! They called last week and told us she got the job! She's very excited. Yesterday was her first day but only for orientation. She begins training next week at a different McDonald's than where she will be working. That McD's is still under construction and will open in one month.

Michael is doing better with most of his teeth missing.

He went back to school yesterday only for me to have to go and pick him up around noon. He went to the nurse's office complaining of not feeling good. I'm hoping he makes it through the whole day today.

The Colonel will be home tonight and he's planning on finishing up the extension for the garden he started on Monday. I do have pictures to post, but will do them all at one time.

Last Thursday we went to see Olivia and the rest of our youth participate in the District Level for Fine Arts. Olivia did her short sermon!

She was so good. I was so proud of her!

However, we found out on Wednesday that she's not advancing to Nationals. This was her first year, so there's always next year!

I really didn't want to go to Florida this summer anyway! A few other kids made it and I'm very happy for them.

Here are some pictures of our trip last week. I went with my mom and my good friend Olga; her daughter Sarah was also participating. Enjoy!

My mom, Olivia and I just before Olivia's turn...

Rebecca and Olivia. This was earlier in the day while we were waiting for Sarah to sing...

You know, every day doesn't have to be "blog-worthy"! :) In fact, most of my days are really just regular old days! But the everyday life is still interesting! I hope Micheal's mouth feels better today. 10 teeth! Wow! My 10yo son had 3 baby teeth pulled back in Nov. I remember that he felt badly for a couple of days. Have a good weekend!

I remember the days of fine arts competition. Our girls did vocal, piano, trios and choral groups. They are using their talent for the Lord today.I'm glad your lettering turned out well. Have you posted them?

Congrats on the job! I will say a prayer for her since I have done the McDonald's thing, too. I was 16 years old, working until 11 on the weekends, and opening on Saturday and Sunday mornings at 5:30. They just about killed me. I hope things go great for Olivia!
